Recently built a stroker with lower vacuum for my charger and am thinking of switching to manual brakes. I have front disc and rear drums with the 15/16 bore master already, so I believe all I need is the firewall stiffening plate for manual brakes and the rod that goes from the pedal to the master. I would end up removing the cam like piece that it uses to push on the rod from the power booster to the pedal as well I am assuming. I have 4 wheel drums with manual brakes on my '68 Runner and I don't mind them at all so this won't be a bad switch in my eyes. I am going to try them as is, but I lose vacuum after a couple pedal pushes now, so I am assuming it'll only piss me off more in traffic. The motor makes about 9" of vacuum at idle and I don't wanna go through the crap of adding a vacuum pump and all that. I am all about it being simple as its a '68, not an '08. Any other parts that you guys can think of that I am missing?
